THE LONDON JOUItNALS. - 0.1141 - Extractsfrem the Mandril; iipers,M arch 1$ ,1 82G. TIMNS.i The hopes which we yesterday cherished of Ms Majesty's improvement in health were con limed, we rejoice to say, by a Bulletin issued yesterday afternoon. The greatest regard to public feeling has been paid throughout his Ma jesty's indisposition. It has been asked, why was it not announced three weeks ago that the King was under the influence of gout ? Plainly, because it was nut wished to harrass and agitate she minds of a loyal and affectionate people without necessity. But then again it is said, why inform the nation of the illness now that the symptoms are abating? Precisely, because the symptoms are abating. Alarm had began to 'creep abroad, rumour had exceeded the truth, and it could not but be beneficial to put the pub lic in possession of authentic information, more especially when that information was of a cheer. ing and consolatory nature. [THE REPRESENTATIVE.] We understand that on the next dissolution of Parliament, a contest in London is expected.— The Lord Mayor has been invited to offer him self ; and another individual, not possessing like pretensions, it is said, will exhibit himself, in the person of Mr. Alderman Waithman. The chances of the success of the latter we shall not at present stop to discuss ; but we must he per-1 milted to lament that any conjuncture of circum stances should have arisen which should give Chance that the first city in the world should be thrown into such hands. It is really a shame that the men of actual weight in London should leave it to he represented by one who, in any point of view, would he utterly unworthy of that honour. The time, we should think, is gone by, when talking absurd and stupid Cockneyisms, and " misusing the King's English damnably," should pass for oratory, even in the parts most east of Temple liar; and when we take away these eminent qualifications from people similar to Mr. Weidman, we cannot conceive what re mains to recommend them to attention. It is, we repeat, to be lamented, that the City—end we speak -.lthout reference to the mere question of ministerial or anti-ministerial politics—should he exposed to the insult of such a candidate. [MORNING POST.] In the House of Lords last night, a Select Committee, similar to that of the Commons, was appointed to consider the state of the Banking System in Scotland and Ireland, and at the same time the expediency of extending the abolition of small notes to those countries. The motion was introduced by the Earl of Liverpool, and agreed to by the House, without any observations what. ever anti when it was proposed to refer to the Committee the petitions which had been received against the anticipated extension, a discussion arose which, though not of a very imp scant character, will still he found interesting In its details. Nothing surely can be more just or commendable than the conduct of Go. vernment upon this subject. They wished ,to extend the Bill to Ireland and Scotland, but not suddenly. A general sentiment had pre. veiled in Scotland against that extension, and the table was covered with petitions on the subject. What was then the most decorous course of pro ceeding ? Why, to recommend the appointment of a Committe to inquire into the facts stated in those petitions, and to see whether the provisions of the 13itt ought or ought not to he extended to Scotland and Ireland. The motion was also agreed to ; and after the recess it is expected that the report of the Committee will be reedy. ed, and its recommendation adopted its the shape of a Bill, to be introduced in the Commons. [MORNING CIIRONIGLE.I A most important subject was brought before I the !louse of Commons last night r —the Licensing of Public blouses. 'Whatever men may be in .thopia, experience has sufficiently proved that list England, wherever they have the power to dipinto the pockets of their neighbours, without 14ving-to fear the consequences, that power is 'regularly abused. The licensing of public houses, Artiorder that the public may be secured against 'inett.of had character in such houses, is one of those. things which carry with them a show of 'fairness. But money is made in public houses, end'those who had the power of giving or with. balding these licences at discretion, very soon thought• only of making that power available to the helping themselves or their relations to a -share of that money. The licence, so far from being personal, came to be given to a certain house, and that house came as regularly into the handsof a person whom it was the inter,bt of the ildagistrates to favour. Hence the closest alli. once has been formed, in all populous places, be. tweet') 4. the 'Magistrate and the Brewer. The Magistrate is ',frequently a person' with whom Brewer 'deals; and , the Brewer quarrels not with his prices, so long as he can retain the monopoly :of a house, in which so man'', ~liOprels 'of Beer cart,be sold at a monopoly price •to , the public. What appalling details of the dirty practices to which the Magistrates of Sur - fey have lent themselves, are to be found in the: Pamphlet'of Dr.' Edwards! But is Surrey worse 'With respect to trafficking than Middlesex ? It appears from the statement, of Dr. Edwards, `that -while 'a went of public houses is felt in many parts of the Brixton 'lltindied, there' are several low neighbouriniods ie which they are so clustered togetherohat the owners are forc ed,' to resort, to the' inns(' diVetettable prat. 'flees to grain 'a hiviog. These things Ate well known to the Magistrates-•-to the men, to shorn tie power of or - Withhatiling of licences is o, ( 4ltif the sake of the public Morals. But it Atl i ; m oney e xtrarte . d• :frourthese dens 'of t h a t i s the otatn•spring— time teoruls are pretext.' 'The money,'aS Vespasian said of tl:4` lastttrlu , tt; oi,„l tax in a certain -artt i cle, the 101 011(4 is not tainted ; and as out'ofi the bosom of 'c"ruilti4o springs beautiful vegetation; so part of the money obtained from these vile sources, may be again expended in subscriptions to Bible So= 1 cieties, or missions to convert the South Sea Islanders, though no doubt the greatest part will be expended in clothing the guardians of the public morals, and their protegees, with fine clothes and silks, and covering their tables with dainties. It is fortunate that our Magistrates have only hi►herto been trusted with discretionary power over one description of bad houses. Had the Legislature extended their, power to another, we might have seen the same alliance between the Magistrates and a certain species of contractors, mostly of the Jewish per suasion, in Marylebone and Wapping, which we now see so firmly established between Ma gistrates and Brewers. Man can never safely be trusted with irresponsible power. The' only way of putting down this crying evil, is to follow the recommendation of Mr. Hume, and make the certificate of the Clergyman, Church wardens and inhabitants of a neighbourhood, as to good conduct, imperative on the Magistrates, and to require the concurrence of such a num ber to the granting of every license, say twenty or thirty, that the share of the corrupt matter ac cruing to each, would be no temptation to miscon duct. We rely chiefly on the extension of the number necessary to license. It is to the cir cumstance that the licenses in Scotland are granted by a large body of Magistrates, that among a people as quick in scenting out jobs as any on the face of the earth, the jobbing in licenses has never yet been thought of. The law, we believe, is the same in both parts of the island, but in Vngland the cutting up Counties into small licensing divisions led inevitably to the alliance between the Brewer• and the Mngis rate. [THE TIMES.) By the Lisbon Gazettes which arrived yester day' to the Bth inst., we learn that the King o Portugal was so seriously indisposed, that his life was despaired of. Majesty's complaint is described as a series of nervous attacks, the con• sequence of indigestion, which began on the 4th inst., and had continued up to the 7th. On the evening of the 6th, his Majesty's paroxysm was so violent, and the fears of his attendants so strong, that the sacrament of extreme unction was administered; and a Regency for the Provisional Government of the kingdom appointed, in con temptation of his speedy demise. The bulletins which describe the progress of his malady, and the decree which provides for the administra tion of the Government till his recovery, or the arrival of his successor, are given below.--. (See THE SUI!I•of yesterday,)—A bout that suc cessor nothing is said, though of course the Em peror of Brazil would either be invited to re-unite the two crowns which belonged to his father, or would have his choice as to which of them he would he disposed to place or retain on his head. The late convention by which the independence of Br.tzil was acknowledged, so far as its articles were published, left undetermined a point which the death of John VI. must immediately settle.— The state of the Royal Family of Portugal at the present moment is not a little singular, and the nomination of the chief of the. Regency affords a proof of the continued existence of that distrust which must have been pro duced in the mind of the King by the un natural rebellion of his son, instigated by the hatred, and directed by the intrigues, of his wife. Don Miguel Could not be no• minuted,' because he is in exile ; the Queen could not be appointed, because she is In forced seclusion ; and the honourlqherefore, was obliged to fall on one of the Princesses. As the effective Members of the Provisional Government are sup porters of the present system, it is not likely, even on the demise of the Crown, that any change will take place till the accession of the new King. If that is not the present Sovereign of Brazil, the:Crown of Portugal must suffer a cruel spoliation, as. it can no longer glitter with Imne riaflustre, the title of Emperor being assumed by his Faithful Majesty to place him on a level with the Chief of:his former trans• Atlantic colony. E unman Pangs.] A • statement having appeared in the British Press a few days ago, of the speech of Mr. Whit law, at the City of London Tavern, in which he made an attack on the conduct of the Directors and Guardians of the poor of Saint Mary lebone, and their medical officers respecting the treat ment of certain scrophulous patients belonging to the :work-house, during the time • they were under his care;. we are authorised to state that the whole of his assertions are founded on misre. presentation. In justice to the medical officers of that establishment, we ore desired to add, that the patients were entirely removed from the Infirmary during their treatment by Mr. Whitlaw, and were never seen by them until after his dismissal: neither did the sick nurse, who attended those patients, ever receive any directions from them as to the application of •any dressing to their sores, or the use of any other remedy whatever. The assertion that those children had their fiesh'cor. roiled to the bone, and were , near losing their lives , but for the assistance of Mr. Whitlaw, is also unfounded. If Mr. Mildew's Committee are not satisfied with this statement, the Directors and Guardians meet every Friday at eleven o'clock, and will be ready to give 'any further information. ETIIE PUBLIC LEDGER.I The affairs of Spain have begun again to assume an alarming degree of importance ; in several of heT provinces, the standard of rebellion is raised, and it is admitted, even by the Ministerial Jour.. nals of France, that crowds are daily flocking , to join it. The intelligence, however, is still too confused to enable us to ascertain the precise views of the insurgents, though the cause is clear enough to every one who has paid the least at tention to the conduct of that obdurate and reck. less Government:" We presume, however, thatthe, the' movement - is not wholly servile : and, indeed, some of ' the accounts Positiv ell y state that there are Constitutional bands also in ti n . field, Whoever reflects on , the cruel treutinent which that party has experienced since the restoration of Ferdi nand, as well as upon the hopes which they have never ceased to entertain, of being sooner or later, able to retaliate on their persecutors, will easily credit this part of the statement. It is well known, too, that. the Constitutionalists are considerable enough, in point of numbers, to look fearlessly at any contingency that should bring them again, face to face,with their adversaries, and that they have been hitherto solely restrained by the presence of the French army, from bring ing the dispute between them once more to an issue. As to courage, enthusiasm, and know ledge, they have so decided a superiority, that nobody can be surprised at the menacing attitude they have never ceased to maintain, under cir cumstances the most disheartening. At one pe riod of the Constitutional System, nearly half a million of Spaniards had enrolled their names to take up arms in its defence ; and they would have redeemed this pledge, had it not been for the gross treachery of some of their leaders, who had insinuated themselves into their confidence, solely with the view of betraying them. Such was the conduct of that arch traitor, O'Donnel, Count of A hisbal, and of that still more infamous in triguer, the Count of Cnrthagvna, not to omit a name equally execrable,thaton3allasteros. These wretches have, however, run their race of trea chery ; and, what is more closed it, to others in the event of a new struggle. The experience which the Constitutionalists have recently acquired has not been purchased too dearly ; and though the price has been as high as it was possible for their enemies to exact,, yet they have no cause to re gret it, as it will be the means of securing the ultimate triumph of their principles. [MORNING HERALD.] ' he indisposition of the King was the chief topic of conversation in the City yesterday, and the probable contingent results have been balanced by the gamblers with as much avidity and nicety as the raising of a loan of twenty mil lions. The spirit of gain, without regard to who lives or dies, has got. so firm a hold of these men's minds, that it hangs about their necks like an incubus, to the annihilation of all common decency ; and it is no longer a matter of calculation bow far the demise of a Monarch will affect our rights and privileges, but what influence it will have in producing a rise or fall of prices in the Money Market. Except, however, to maik the apathy with which this vampyre system causes the most delicate sub ject to be treated, it is unnecessary to notice the nature of the reports that were put in circulation, particularly as the varying effusions of the contending parties so nearly neutralized each other, that they had very little influence on prices yesterday.— Consols opened at 774, from which they only varied j above and i below during the day, the highest of them being the closing quotation. There was very little done after twelve o'clock, but the Bears remained in the Market, anxiously watching every unfavourable rumour regarding the King, to get an opportunity to run them down. The Four per Cents. were equally steady, the prices being confined between 95i and Exchequer Bills fell about 2 per cent. in consequence, it is said, of the Bank having been feeling the pulse of the ulcet with some of the Stock they have on hand. The closing price of Exchequer Bills was 4 preen., and of India Bonds 2 Fern. The only change of consequence in the Foreign Securities was the advance of Columbian 6 per Cent. Bonds to 43i, and Mexi can to 65. This advance was caused by the dividend hunters buying in, these dividends being payable on the Ist of April ; and it is now supposed that these two States will be able to make good one more payment without a fresh loan. The high sense of honour and honesty of Noble Lords and M. P.'s, toge ther with the newly-created integrity of Solicitors, is throwing all the villanous schemes into a galloping consumption. REPRESENTATION Ok"rii E CITY. At a Meeting of Liverymen of London, resi dent in the W'ard of Farringdon.without, held on Thursday last, at Mr. 111AINE's, in Smithfield, the following requisition was unanimously agreed upon, and a deputation appointed to present it to Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN We, the undersigned Liverymen of the city of London, strongly impressed with a sense of the importance of the public services of Mr. Alderman Waithman, during -a period of more than 30 years, in the various offices of Common Councilman , Alderman, Sheriff, Lord Mayor, and Representative of the Metropolis in Parliament, feel that his return to the House of Commons, at the ensuing General Election, would be a mea sure highly creditable to the good sense and public spirit of his tens, for whom he has cheerfully made so many sa crifices, anti we therefore respectfully request the worthy Alder man to afford the Livery an opportunity of demonstrating their gratitude and respect, by becoming a Candidate for the Repre sentation of the City in Parliament. (Signed) WM. GRIFFITH . , Chairman: March 18. A Deputation from the Meeting, in consequence, waited upon the Worthy Alderman yesterday morning; and having presented hini with the requisition, as above, Mr. ViTarr it MAN gave the following reply : Gentlemen—lt is impossible for me to express my feelings in adequate terms on the very favourable view you have been pleased to take of my public services, and on the honourable, spontaneous, and independent assurances of your exertions to place me in the important situation of one of the Representa tives of the City of London In Parliament. I have ever contended for the freedom and purity of election, and considered it a most essential part of our constitution, that representatives should be freely and independently chosen ; anti so strongly am I impressed with this opinion, that a seat in the House of Commons, obtained upon any other principl:s, would not he an object of desire with me. The power delegated to a Parliamentary Representative is the most important trust that you can bestow upon any indivi. dual. To him is confided the maintenance of your rights, the defence of your liberties, and the support of your interests. It becomes, therefore, a serious duty on the part of electors, to examine well the conduct and pretensions of candidates; and in their selection to be guided rather by the test of past expe rience, than to repose confidence on promises and professions. Under these impressions, I feel, that however unequal my exertions may have been to the occasions that called them forth, those exertions have been long and arduous ; they were fre quently made under circumstances of great difficulty, and often attended with no inconsiderable personal sacrifices; they ha ve been made, too, in the highest and most la b o rious offices that i must could et:itfer, and it is upon your appreciation of them that public spirit and good sense of t h e Livery of London, than to succeed by the means of any unjust ite u i stiti rest re n it y an c c la e llns, upon detehlening it more honourable t o b e d e . fei influence, or by the use of those unworthy practices which are but too common on such occasions. There appears to me, Gentlemen, another most important consideration that ought to weigh deeply with the Liverymen. The great body of the electors of London is composed of shop. keepers and traders, and are they to be considered so insignifi cant a class that no one of their own body is tit and able to re present them ? Arc they who have the principal share in the election to be told that no one is to found amongst themselves capable of understanding and representing their peculiar inte rests ? and that they must on all occasions step out of their own ranks to seek the individuals on whom they are to confer that honour ? That this has been too much the doctrine and the practice, requires no proof; but it xemains for the Livery to de. termine whether such a reflection upon the body ought to re. main, or whether they will assert their own independence and respectability by selecting some amongst t he mselves whom they can intruat with this important business.' Gentlemen, begging you to accept my w armest thanks for this testimony of your esteem and approbat i on , I can only add, that l4titd i l o i n )l . Inprop or tionyourmy want of influence will b e t h e to hands, and rely your i y Ia wholly in greater extent of your triumph. Wha t eve r may be in fate, or that of any indi v idual, is of little consequence but the free and honest exercise of the elective franchise, is of the highest importance both to yourselves and to y our country; and I' can ' have no doubt b ut t h a t the Livery will discharge this public duty in such a manner as to set a most praiseworthy example t ) the electors of the whole kingdom. I am, Gentlemen, ROBT. With the greatest gratitude and respe c t, - Your obedient and faithful servant, W ! Woburn-pla ce , M arc h 17. AITIIMAN. Yesterday upwards of 130 of the gentlemen who have offered to act upon the Lord Mayor's Committee, on the occasion of the approaching election, assembled at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of adopting measures to car 7 into effect the re. turn of his Lordship as a representative of the city of London. One o'clock was appointed for the commencement of business, but Mr. John Smith, M.P., who was to have taken the chair, not having arrived at that time, and a number of gentlemen. being present, Mr. Deputy Routh was called to the chair, and briefly stated ' the object of the meeting. Mr. NICHOLS moved the first resolution, which stated that the Lord Mayor had acted in the various public situations which he had filled during a period of no ordinary difficulty, with independence and intelligence, which was the best test of his eligibility as a representative of city; and Mr. Launce lot Haslop seconded the motion. • Mr. Deputy Fisirxit moved, that the meeting should pledge themselves to use every exertion in their power to secure his Lordship's return. This resolution was seconded by Mr. CAZENOVE, and both motions were carried unanimously. A deputation then waited upon the LORD MAYOR, who was in another part of the home, and ,who, upon entering the room where his friends were assembled, was received with great ap plause. His Lordship then addressed the Meeting, and after a few preliminary observations, said that his own conscientious view of the duties of a Member of Parliament would prescribe to him, fn the public situation which he professed himself will ing to fill, a course of the most laborious duty. His utmost exertions should be used for the purpose of advancing the inte rests of his fellow-citizens, and proving to them the sincerity of his gratitude; and he trusted that those who knew him were of opinion that he might refer to his past conduct as affording tes timony of the future. At the end of the Lord Ajayor's address, Mr. JOHN SMITH entered the room, and regretted that he had been detained. He could not, lie said, although the irliness of the meeting was concluded, help saying a few words upon the subject. He knew no man who was better qualified, froM his constitu tional principles, and from his knowledge of the interests of his fellow-citizens, and his activity and talent in discharging the duties which at present devolved upon him, to represent this great metropolis than the Lord Mayor. He should be ex tremely happy to act upon the Committee, and suggested that his Lordship should be considered as having the power to call upon any of the meeting to act immediately. This suggestion was unanimously adopted. All the Resolutions having been unanimously adopted, the ' Meeting separated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 17. IN THE MATTER OF SIR OREGORY.PAGE TURNER. Mr. HORNE was instructed to - state that the Bedford M sizes were now over, and no traverse of the Inquisition had bean tried. The LORD CHANCELLOR never expected any traverge would have been tried, notwithstanding all that had been said about it. Mr. HORNE had now, therefore, to move, that the caveat might be ordered to be withdrawn; and that Mr. Corbett, who had been permitted to visit Sir Gregory at pleasure, might be restrained from having any more interviews with him, Sir t;. Tuthill having declared his opinion to be, that it was the worst thing that could be for Sir Gregory's mind that a continuation of those interviews should be allowed. His LORDSHIP desired the Act of Parliament to be brought into Court to-morrow morning, and he would immediately pro ceed to do under it that which appeared just and proper to , wards the unfortunate individual. HELLISH V. MELLISH. His LORDSHIP had read over the whole of the papers in this case again, and he felt he ought not to continue to retail) such a large sum of money in Court as was in Court, being the balance due to the plaintiff since he had attained the age of 21 years ; and, therefore, unless the SolicitorGeneralething to say on the part of the defendants (the guardians) had som' :against it to-morrow motning, the COOTS, wou ld older t he to be paid out. WELLESLEY V. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. This cause again came on before the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Haiti. commenced, by adverting to the contrasts of the additional a ffi davits, which had been filed on the part of th defendants, and those in answer to them, in which the alleged immoral conduct of Mr. Wellesley, in introducing marred w oman into his house as the companion of his wife, tvivi pletely denied; and it was also shown that his wife had Actually in t ro duced her herself, conceiving that she had been ill-- treated, and offering her every protection in her power. — The Learned Counsel went through the whole of the aflid vita, commenting thereon as he proceeded, and also a serict • of letters written by 11 r.
